911

This is it. 

I'm out of fight.

I end up wrong 

Even when I'm right.

I tried so hard

But my best efforts have failed.

I'm at my wits' end

And stuck in jail

With no way out 

'Cause I can't make bail.

I sit tight and wait for You

Because, to be frank, 

What else can I do?

I lie beneath the weeping willows

And listen to the song of swallows.

Spring brings the promise of new life

But I feel like I've been stabbed with a knife.

You need to get here if You're anywhere about.

Time's of the essence and I'm bleeding out.

I see a white light as I lay here,

In desperate need of intensive care.

Cue the Hero

You made sweet promises

That I liked to hear.

You said that in hard times

You'd always be there.

I believed every word of it-

Matter of fact, I believe it still.

But in all honesty,

My faith's wearing somewhat thin.

Doubts wash over me

That I try to assuage

But I don't know how long

I can keep them at bay,

Or continue to delay

The crumbling of my defences

In the face of warring elements

That seem so damn relentless.

I rejected the darkness once before

But this test is just so hard to endure.

While I don't enjoy feeling sorry for myself

Right now I am in need of help.

But if somehow You fail to come through,

I have no idea what I'm gonna do.

Expectancy

You said you'd be the ONE

To stand by me

When others turned tail

To flee.

You said you'd be there

When the going got tough;

That you'd have my back

When the world called my bluff.

You promised that you'd

Be my guide;

That when other lights went out,

You'd stay by my side.

Now it has come to the point.

Got my back to the wall;

I'm waiting on you 

Please answer my call!
